Heidi: I agree with you about the 6 clicks, it's limited and looks at
functional mobility which to me is different than physical/performance
status.
Shai: I like your input about the 5x or 30 sec. It's quick and relatively
little instruction needed. Pair it with the TUG which is quick and easy as
long as there is space and opens the objectiveness of the screen.

Definitely there is a wide spread love affair for the AMPAC score.
Sad to me. It’s such a limited subjective snap shot, but it is easy!
I’m going to back up Shai here- sit to stand is a better tool.

The hospital I work at also uses the AM-PAC or "6-clicks" outcome measure.
The rehab staff and nurses are all trained to use it; the therapists score
the AM-PAC every session with the patient. It's very quick and is being
used at several large university hospitals and helps with d/c planning.
Case managers are also trained and understand what the scores mean.

You should look at the AM-PAC for a self-reported functional assessment.
Paul LaStayo at University of Utah is using it and has some great data to
back it up.

Hello,
I have been asked to develop a “quick screening” method for docs to use to
assess a patient’s physical activity level. Does anyone have a survey or
functional test that they are using to assess this?
Thanks,
Jeannie
